ATTITUDES OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS TOWARDS HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA AND THEIR WORK SATISFACTION

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study is to reveal the relationship between the attitude of university professors towards the environment in which higher education institutions are operating currently in the Republic of North Macedonia and their job satisfaction. This paper attempts to address the problem of applicability of the Law on Amending and Supplementing the Law on Higher Education, by relating above-mentioned variables measured by the degree of job satisfaction of the university professors. Quantitative correlation was used as a method of research in this study. Therefore, a group of 305 Albanian professors of higher education were randomly selected, both from private and public institutions, with an average age of 40 years and a working experience of 7 years surveyed by relevant measurement instruments. The correlational analysis between attitudes toward higher education in the country and the job satisfaction of the professors in the university has been shown to have an average positive statistically significant relationship, while ordinal regression showed that attitudes are important predictors of the job satisfaction variable. Of the relevant variables, only work experience resulted with poor adverse relationship in relation to attitudes towards the environment in which higher-education institutions are operating.
